A Red Hot Time in the House Over the Pension Vetoes, Which Are Finally Buried in Committee, A Day on Vetoes. WasHiNGTON, July .—The speaker laid before the house the twenty-one veto mes- ages transmitted by the president yesterday, The first message read was referred, without comment, to the committee on invalid pen- sions, but the disposition of the next mes- Age, vetoing the bill granting a pension to ‘rwin L. Harrington, consumed more tinie. Mr. Matson of Indiana moved its reterence, vending which, Mr. Holy of lowa, stating that the reference of the bill would be the end of it, moved that its consideration be vostponed until Friday nest. Lost—yeas, 95; navs, 11 Mr. Burrows of Michizan moved to amend Mr. Matson's motion by adding instructions requesting the committee on invalid pensions to report the bill and the message back Fri day. Mr. Jackson of Pennsylvania attacked the veto policy of the president, who, he de- clared, was not actuated by any regard for the worth or merit of private pension bills. His 1eason for vetoing the bills was not that they were unworthy. 1is reason was ap- parent on the face of s, He was in sympathy with the party opposed to pen- sioning union soldiers and’ e did not pro- pose that any union soldier should be pen- sioned it he could avoid it. It was said that the president weant right. e did mean right—to please a cerfain element in_ the country, but not right to please honest, loyal people; Mr. McMillan of Tennessee—The president has signed more private pensions than any otiier president in the same space of time, Mr. Jackson—And he has vetoed ten times more good ones than all other presidents put together, r. Perkins of Kansas addressed himself ion of the president’s mes- ge, and criticised the position taken by the president that the government should not assure its soldiers against quarrelsome propensities or unprovoked assaults, Mr. Matson thought the messages should be considered carefull ‘The gentléman on the othey side scemed adverse to get at the presi- dent. ‘The democrats were determined the president should have fair play, and they would stand by that bosition, It was not fair play to the president to undertake, upon hasty consideration, to pass the bill over his vets Mr. Brage of \Wisconsin said ther tobe an idea in seemed the house that it was the duty of the president to vindicate his oftice in favor of the majority of the committee on in- valid pensions whenever, in the exereise of the constitutional prerogative given him, he xamined legislation to see whether or not it was provident and wise. It was charged that lie had perpetrated an outrage on the Ame can people, He (Br: ) maintained that the president was honestly discharging nis duty when, in_the exercise of his judgment, he sent legislation back with his” reasons for withholding his approval, The house s et upon the question, not with deing specches, but with Judicial detiberate consideration. e was glad to find that at last th WAas a man in the executive chair who had the nerve and courage to place his hand upon legislation when lie thought it improper, whether it Was n or railroad legislation. [Applause on the democratic side.| Congress had gone altozethier too far in the way of pension logis- tion, Burrows’ motion to instruct was lost— , 100: nays, 134—and the message was re crred o the committee on invalid pensions, ‘The next message was one vetoinyg tho bill granting a pension to Catharine 1. McCar- thy. Mr. Matson moved its reference to the committee on invalid pensions, and Mr. Browne moved instruetions ' requiring the committee to report it back on or before Monday next. Mr, Browne ciiticised the action of the president and in- voked God’s md‘n‘f‘ on the man who had the heart to veto a bill for the relief of the widow of a man whodied in the line of duty to his country, He stically reflected upon the which the éxperienced soldier comuander-in-chief of the army treated his es. is excellency belonged to that s of men whe, during the war, were afiaid nothing but 'danger, but now he stood alorously armed, cap aple, with vetoes in his hand, between the upforunate soldjers and the treasury of the United Stares, Pres- ident Cleveland would go down to posterity as the great American objeetor, Mr. Conger resented the language used by the president, as throwing sluts on the nmo. tives of congress, and as insulting to the union soldier Mr. Bayne took the same view and sug- gested that the democrats who stood by e vetoes Would have lhv|< manhood Very 58 verely tried. % Mr. Cannon read in the vetoes the story that while Cleveland as president there would be no further pension legislation There were great questions in this country calling for the attention of the exeentive, yet the president crushed them all wsh peared anxious to cater to nobody execept that little solid knot that came frow the solid south, He wanted to gat their applause. They ' cast the Hdolid votes in nowiinating conventions.

The gentlemen in alking about th vetoes forgot that nearly all of these bills had been vetoed by a repulb- lican commissioner of pensions years ago, Mr. Weaver thouglit that 1o disrespect would be shown to the president by im- mediate actlon on the veto, and he therefore opposed its reference to the committee. Tho motlon to instruct was lost—yeas. 115; nay. 125—and the message was feforred to the committee on invalld pensions, Adjourned, In the Senate.

The sections mot affected by the drouth are the Red River valley from Wahpeton to Grand Forks, and the Northern Pacitic country from Brainerd to Bismarck In Minnesot ota south of the forty sixth parallel weather liae been very dry, - the "drouth being severest in the exireme southern counties of Minne- sota and Dakota, extending well down into northern lowa. In southern Minnesota Dakota wheat wassown in most counties in dust, and rains since then nave been light and not trequent enough to give the ground a good soaking, During the stooling period in May, the weather was - yery dry. The intensely hot weather the past ten days has added materially to the injury, as the ground was in no condition to stand any serious drouth. The result is that along the Winona & St. Peter road through - Minuesota and along the southern divisions of the Milwaukee & St. Paul, the crops are literally drying up, and_unless rains come very soon light P of all kinds of grafns is the most that can be expected in those sections. Itis doubtful even whether the crops can be benefitted now to any extent if rain should come. The stooling period is long since past and the crops may now be taken to bu~ at the best stage to be obtained. More rain will simply prevent them from getting back- ward, butwill hardly improve their condi- tion. The us of Saturday night extended over those sections _only where it was g needed, From Cuniings, on Manitoba road, south and along the Northern Pacific line north of Grand Forks, there was no rain, and Great Dev: Lake county is still suffering from drouth.

Democrats in the House Show Their Ani- mus in Sustaining the President. GROVER'S COURSE DENOUNCED. Prospects That Cleveland Will Break Al Former Veto Records—Nebras- ka's Delegation Solid Against Sustaining the President. The Copperhead Shows Itselfl WASHINGTON, July 7.—[Special Telegram to the B cratic hostility to pensions given on the floor of the house to-day, there need be no lope by soldiers of the country for justice as long as the present parly is in power, Numerous leaders of the demoeracy, among thewm Chalr man Matson, of the committee on invalid pensions, and the pretentious Holman en dorsed the vetoes of President Cleveland and voted to sustain him in his work of devrivin soldiers, their widows and orphans, of what is justly due them. @ neral Browne of In- diana, Hepburn and Henderson, of Towa, Mr. Cannon, of Illinois,and other prominent republicans exposed the flimsy hypoerisy of these demagogues who pretend to work for pensions, but who are secretly opposing them. Yet the hypocrites spoke and voted with the president. Up to to-day President Cleveland has v toed cighuy-eight private pension bitls. When he vetoes eleven more he will have vetoed many private pension bills as the aggregato of all the vetoes of every class by all other presidents. It seems that Mr. Cleveland is bent on outdoing the whole record of vetoes by all o his predecessors, and not go ontside private pension bills to do it. It has been claimed by democrats in congre that the president is justitied in vetoing so many pen- sion bills because enofmous sums of money, aggregating millions annually, have been voted away in speciiic or private pensions. It has been ascertained that all pensions drawn by special acts of congress at th amount to less than half a million doliars a year, and that statements to the contrary are baséd ipon those greatly exaggerated and uniformly deceiving estimates made designedly by Commissioner Black., Nearly all the pensions granted by special act are for only $8 a mouth,and at least nineteen out of twenty are for this amount. It is learned that a number ot times President Cleveland dismissed cabinet meetings—whether matters of national importance, such as the fisheries, financial, Chinese, ete., were being discussed—to veto private pension bills, Fur- ther, it Is learned that the president has relied solely for evidence upon which to write lus vetoes on the briefs made at the pension oftice in the cases when they were rejected. All these bricfs were written years ago, many twenty years ago, aud none contain the new testimony in the cases, and all contain more or less of new matter, A gooddeal was said to-day, in debate and in private, about the sneers, slurs and joeu- lar observations of the president in his ve- toes, and a good dealof feeling is being shown on ount of them. ‘I'hese add insult to injury,are wholly gratuitous, and show the Rippant disregard of Mr. Cleveland, not only for the gondition of the soldiers and those dependent upon them, but the cause they represent. ‘*He is just like all copperneads,” 5 heard a number of times to V. opresentative Owen. of Indiana, a true friend of the soldiers and just pensions, ex- pressed the belief that there had never been such bold work on the floor of the house by the enemies of pensions as that of to-day, HOW NEBRASKA MEMBERS STOOD.
